"Host Gets Larry Bird's Basketball Talent: Big Bird Spirit!"

There is no need for any superfluous explanation, just such a short line of words is enough for Lin Tian to be excited!

This time it's definitely Ou to grandma's house!

Bird's basketball talent!

That's a lot better than any skill or something!

It's so much better than running, boxing, rugby, and the like!

That's basketball talent!

Lin Tian's first basketball talent!

Or, Lin Tian would like to give it another name: Larry Bird Skill Pack or Larry Bird Skill Book!

That's all of Bird's talents! From trash talk to shooting ability to defensive picking, basketball IQ, court vision, and the ability to rebound and score!

Or to put it more bluntly: even if Lin Tian doesn't have any other skills, just rely on this one talent, not to mention making him the next Larry Bird and the top ten in history, at least he can become the top all-round guard in the league!

This is the foundation of the top 10 in history and the current first small forward in the history of the league!

The bonus to Lin Tian is all-round.

Now, as long as Lin Tian doesn't die building roads and farming, his career is almost certainly guaranteed to be at the level of Bird!

The only thing that was a little intimidating was the name of this talent.

Big Bird Spirit ......

Lin Tiandu was worried that when he went to the competition tomorrow, would he see a Bird who had been sucked dry and looked like a human being......

Then Lin Tian couldn't help but think of something like Nie Xiaoqian......

Hiss... Shivering! Disgusting! It's disgusting!

Hurry up and think of something else!

After Lin Tian felt a chill, he quickly began to study his skills, he is now a real big man!

In the second half of last season, he accumulated a total of about 4,000 experience, the season package has 10,000 points of experience, and the training camp is connected with the Asian Cup trip, Lin Tian has gained more than 15,000 experience points, and now Lin Tian has exactly 30,000 experience in hand!

After half a year of fighting, you can finally enjoy it!

Looking at his dazzling array of skills, Lin Tian's first thought was to streamline it!

Then, considering that Webber is not good at defense, Miller, who is already average in defense, will definitely decline further in the new season as he gets older and is plagued by injuries.

As for Carter, this guy has never been a good defender, at most he is above qualified.

Therefore, although the team is focusing on offense in the new season, its defensive ability still has to be mentioned, otherwise the team will put five people at once, and 2.5 are colanders, and the game will definitely become more difficult.

So the first thing he did was to fuse LV3's glove truncation with LV3's first defense, and then upgraded the fused skill to LV4!

"Stainless steel gloves LV3 (5311/18000): increase the host's single defense ability by 15%, steal ability by 30%, assist defense ability by 15%, block ability by 10%, and basket protection ability by 10%! In the last 5 minutes of the match, if the host enters a state of excitement or rage, the boost will be increased by 36% from the current one! ”

"Stainless steel gloves LV4 (0/36000): increase the host's single defense ability by 17%, steal ability by 35%, assist defense ability by 17%, block ability by 12%, and basket protection ability by 12%! In the last 5 minutes of the match, if the host enters a state of excitement or rage, the boost will be increased by 38% on top of the current one! ”

After making a big improvement in defense, Lin Tian had no intention of stopping at all, and improved the skill 'Flash' obtained in the training camp to LV2!

"Flash LV2 (0/4000): Increase the host's ability to dribble quickly by 8%, increase the host's ability to break the bag by 8%, increase the host's breakthrough ability by 8%, and after the host is seriously fouled by body contact in the air, the probability of playing 2+1 increases by an additional 7%."

Then, Lin Tian fused 'Flash' with the same breakthrough type skill 'Killer Beetle'!

"Lightning Killer LV2 (1601/6000): Increase the host's ability to dribble quickly by 15%, increase the host's ability to break through by 9%, increase the host's breakthrough ability by 15%, and after the host is seriously fouled by making physical contact in the air, the probability of hitting 2+1 increases by an additional 8%, and the probability of shaking the opponent increases by 5%!"

After this skill was fused, Lin Tian gained an additional ability bonus to shake down, which can be regarded as an additional gain!

I just don't know, whose ankle will be harvested by itself next season?

After improving two skills in a row, Lin Tian had already spent 14,500 experience points, and there were still 15,500 points left in his hand, Lin Tian glanced at his remaining skills, well, although there was a lot of experience left, Lin Tian actually didn't have much room to choose.

The two skills of 'blocking and shooting' and 'Utah City Wall', Lin Tian has always let them go and let them grow savagely, because for Lin Tian, one of these two skills is too little of a vegetable bonus, and the other is not very effective, and the cost performance is too low.

These are all skills that are not worth Lin Tian's waste of experience points.

The rest is actually to increase almost all the experience points of Stud to the 'Flying God Pig' or to improve the three low-level skills of the 'Lightning Killer' and the 'Flying Mamba' and 'King of Shooters' that you just got.

Tut-tut...... You don't have to think about this choice at all!

You don't have to think about it to know which one is the best value for money!

So Lin Tian upgraded the 'King of Marksmen' with more than 3,000 experience points, the 'Lightning Killer' with 4,400 experience points, and the 'Flying Mamba' with more than 6,000 experience points!

After a wave of consumption, Lin Tian basically used the chime again with such a little experience point, and there were less than 1,000 left!

"King of Shooters LV3 (0/8000): 3-point shooting rate increased by 5%, mid-range shooting rate increased by 6%, three-point shooting rate increased by 3% in the last 20 seconds of the game, and if you shoot directly after receiving the ball, the shooting percentage will increase by an additional 3%!"

"Lightning Killer LV3 (0/12000): Increase the host's ability to dribble quickly by 17%, increase the host's ability to break the bag by 11%, increase the host's breakthrough ability by 17%, and after the host is seriously fouled by physical contact in the air, the probability of hitting 2+1 increases by an additional 10%, and the probability of shaking the opponent increases by 6%!"

"Flying Mamba LV4 (0/20000): Host basket finishing ability increased by 16%! Increases the shooting rate by 16% and the bounce by 11% when breaking through the rebound or the bottom line pull, and if the bounce rating reaches A-, the finishing ability and pull ability will be increased by an additional 3% for each level of bounce that increases! ”

After this huge improvement, Lin Tian also opened his system panel again.

Mission: None

This improvement is absolutely huge and all-encompassing!

First of all, the coordination and consciousness of the body are both level skipping improvements, and they have directly reached the top ceiling level of the S+ league!

Needless to say, this is the promotion that the 'Big Bird Spirit' has brought to Lin Tian, and Bird's signature is the coordination of consciousness and body.

It is precisely these traits that allow him to fight against those black monsters without falling behind despite his mediocre physical fitness.

Then because of the breakthrough attribute of the 'Lightning Killer', Lin Tian's explosive power was greatly improved, and the 'Flying Mamba' increased Lin Tian's bounce, and the evaluation of these two abilities also directly came to the S-level.

In addition, the improvement of abilities such as shooting, rebounding, assisting defense, blocking, and card positioning, needless to say, is also the improvement obtained by relying on the 'big bird spirit', which are also what Bird is best at!

Lin Tian can only say that the talent of this professional counterpart is a bull breaker!

A number of abilities have been improved by skipping levels, and even directly to the ceiling level of the league, it can only be said that Bird's level, he is indeed worthy of the name!

It is worthy of being a monster in the top ten levels of NBA history!

Compared with the comprehensive and huge improvement that Bird brought to Lin Tian, the level increase of Lin Tian's skills seemed a bit mediocre.

These skills mainly improve Lin Tian's ability to shoot, break through, finish under the basket and defend, which is also very comprehensive, covering almost the most basic abilities on the court, and the improvement is also very small!

Today's Lin Tian is definitely the nightmare of all the No. 1 positions in the league, and even all the guards!

It can attack and defend, it can shoot suddenly, it can pass and shoot!

Although the skills of back play are not excellent, in the face of all the No. 1 positions in the league have a tonnage advantage, and almost all the No. 1 positions can be eaten by relying on the body!

If you insist on saying that Lin Tian has any weaknesses now, it is probably that it is a little difficult for him to defend the back of players in the 3-5 position, and if he encounters those top defensive masters in the league, such as Kidd, Pippen, Payton and others, his skills in back singles are likely to be almost meaningless.

Well, that's pretty much it, and I really can't find any shortcomings for anything else.

After all, Lin Tian is a defender, you can't accuse him of an average level of blocking, right?

In short, Lin Tian is really full of confidence in the next new season!

Confidence like never before!

He felt that unless the team suffered another wave of concentrated injuries this year like last season's curse, it would be impossible to lose the championship!

With this confidence, Lin Tian and the players of the Pacers ushered in the preseason!

On October 23rd, the Pacers made their season debut at their brand new home arena, the Conceco Center!

The new arena can accommodate 19,000 spectators, which is much larger than the old arena's capacity of less than 18,000.

And all kinds of facilities are brand new, and it looks full of technology! Today's Conseco Arena is definitely one of the most luxurious arenas in the league, and even if the new arena can seat nearly 20,000 people, the avid Indiana fans did not disappoint the team, and they once again filled the arena to 100% attendance!

There can be such an atmosphere in the preseason, and Indiana's ball market is definitely enough to make more than 70% of the league's teams envious!

As for the Pacers' opponent tonight, it is last season's champion: the New York Knicks!

This season's Knicks can be described as an eventful and unfavorable year!

After Jordan announced his retirement on the night of the Finals, the team's veteran John Starks was obviously moved by the idea in his heart and announced his retirement in August!

Although the team's remaining main player Patrick Ewing did not retire, his wrist injury recurred in the summer for unknown reasons, and as a last resort, Ewing had to undergo another operation, after which Ewing needed to rest for 4-6 months, which means that he could not return to the court before Christmas.

The important contributors to the team's championship last season retired and injured, and the Knicks, who lost three main players, were generally looked down upon by the outside world! Not only do almost no one think they can defend their title, but there are also a lot of people who think that the Knicks will just fall out of the playoffs!

After all, the way they look now, they really look too much like the kind of team that breaks up after a year.

For example, in this preseason, even though the Knicks have exhausted their elite, the five people in their starting lineup, except for Oakley, Houston and Ward, the remaining two have become Marcus Camby and John Wallace.

Compared with Jordan + Ewing last year, there is still a lineup of Starks on the bench, which is really a bit worse!

On the Pacers' side, Bird didn't do any experimental lineups, test first and then really do the routine, he directly came up with the team's strongest starting five tigers!

Ben Wallace, Chris Webb, Doug Christie, Reggie Miller, Lin Tian!

As the referee blew the whistle, the ghost knew if there was a 2-meter-tall Ben who couldn't snatch Camby, who was 10 centimeters taller than him.

The Knicks got the first wave of the ball!

Ward is still so old and steady, he can't play any too good moments and beautiful statistics, but he is the kind of person who can help the team and stabilize the team.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Lin." Ward and Lin Tian are also old rivals, the two have been in line from the Bulls to the Pacers, I don't know how many times, Ward thinks that although he is not Lin Tian's opponent at all, he knows Lin Tian very well!

For example, this dribble now, although Lin Tian was the steal king last season, with his previous ability, he will definitely not be able to break the ball from his own hands!

Ward knew very well when Lin Tian would make a move, when he would increase his oppressiveness, and when he would suddenly attack again!

"Smack!"

Before he had time to get used to Lin Tian's behavior in his mind, Ward suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, and then the basketball in his hand disappeared, and Lin Tian disappeared from front of him almost at the same time!

"Boom!" A few seconds later, a bang came, and Lin Tian had already completed a dragon's steal and clasped his hands violently!

The entire Conseco Arena immediately erupted in huge, crazy cheers!

This is the first ball on this court, and it is perfect to let Lin Tian complete it with a signature steal and dunk!

In the frantic noise of the fans, Ward looked at Lin Tian incredulously, with his understanding of Lin Tian and years of experience in confrontation, it was impossible for Lin Tian to break this ball!

It stands to reason that Lin Tian can't reach it at all!

But on the contrary, Lin Tian just completed the steal between the lightning and flint!

It can be so fast, so fast that Ward can't even react, then there is only one possibility!

Lin Tian, it's getting stronger again! Besides, it was a big obvious enhancement!

Seeing Lin Tian turn back to defend after dunking the basket, Ward swallowed his saliva for no reason.

He suddenly remembered that when the two met for the first time, although he was not Lin Tian's opponent, he would not be blown up so badly, at that time, it was mainly Jordan who exploded Houston and Johnson, and neither he nor Lin Tian were the protagonists.

Even Ward fantasized that if he was in a team without a big center, in a coach who focused on fast offense and had an open coach, instead of the stubborn guy Van Gundy, maybe he was no worse than Lin Tian?

Can ...... now

It's been less than 5 years, but he has been thrown so far by Lin Tian.

Ward's mind was cranky, he dribbled to the front court again, this time he didn't play by himself, but quickly distributed the ball to Houston from the bottom line, but Houston got the ball and didn't have a chance to shoot at all, although Miller defended averagely, the only thing he was good at defending was this kind of off-ball shooter!

Lao Tzu Miller, the ancestor of the ballless world, who are you stepping on a horse?

In desperation, Houston was able to give the ball to Camby on the inside, but Camby was against the best defense in the league's young generation, just his two hits, let alone a strong attack, and he couldn't get into the 3-second zone.

He could only give the ball to Oakley again, and when Webb saw Oakley take the ball, he immediately came to his senses!

Thyri, kill you, old man!

If Miller is good at defending off-ball shooters, then Webb, who can't defend, is the best at defending pure blue collar who can't attack! The height and arm span are here, and he stands still with his hands raised, which still has some deterrent effect.

Oakley didn't dare to single out Webb, so he could only turn around and want to return the ball to the outside, but he had just turned around and the basketball in his hand was directly taken away!

Lin Tian!

Once again, he wandered behind Oakley without knowing when, and snatched the basketball from his hand the moment he turned around!

Start the fast break again!

This time Miller was on the left, Christie was on the right, Lin Tian was in the center of the dribble, while attracting the Knicks' defense, while observing the situation on the court, and then when he rushed into the 3-point line, his head twisted to the left to look at Miller, but the basketball flew directly to the basket on the right side!

"Boom!"

After a bang, Christie slammed his hands and scored 2 points again!

Then the Knicks' offense still couldn't find a reliable offensive point, and among the team's current starting five, only Houston was known for his offense, but he was followed by Miller and had no chance to shoot, and in the end it could only be a crooked machine gun shot by Camby in the middle distance, and the basketball slammed out of the basket.

Webb elbowed Oakley, grabbed the rebound, then turned around and just looked at it, and the basketball was thrown to the front court with one hand!

After Lin Tian took the ball, he turned around and wiped Ward with a smooth turn, and then took three steps directly, and jumped up to be another gliding chop that he was best at!

"Boom!"

In the first three rounds, the Knicks were powerless, and they were best at positional defense and hand-to-hand combat, and they didn't even have a chance to take it out, and the Pacers didn't give the Knicks a chance to fall into the position at all!

It wasn't until the game was played 2 minutes and 20 seconds that the Knicks finally relied on a forced top bukkake from Houston to break the scoring drought, and the Pacers' offense finally fell into a positional battle in the next round.

But for the Knicks today, positional warfare is not their safe haven, but an excellent opportunity for the Pacers to set off another round of storms!

Just when Ward and Houston still wanted to entangle Lin Tian and make him unable to organize an offense, Lin Tian had already given the ball to Webber near the free throw line, and then Lin Tian quickly circled Weber, only to make the Knicks' defense dizzy.

Then Lin Tian was about to cooperate with Webber hand-to-hand, and at the same time walked outside the 3-point line, just when the Knicks' entire defensive center of gravity was on him, and the line expanded outward, Webber suddenly made a pass from behind, and the basketball flew directly to Christie's hand under the basket!

"Boom!"

After another bang, Christie slammed the slam again with one hand! And at this point, not even a single Knicks player saw him!

Far away in Sacramento, Adelman, who turned on the TV when he was idle, wanted to see how Chris Webb, who he had always liked and wanted, played at his new club, and after seeing this ball, he scolded directly: "FUXX! This is Lao Tzu's Princeton! ”

Yes, Princeton!

The Pacers only used one positional battle to let countless knowledgeable people see their tactics.

The inside line responds with a high position, the defender runs around, the front line cuts without the ball, the center does a good job of covering, and the high ball carrier passes the ball behind him to explode the opponent's chrysanthemum.

A flexible, gorgeous, elegant, and easy-to-follow offensive system! In this era when the defensive tactics and defensive system are not very perfect, the backdoor slip bottom line and run back, plus the sharing of the two top passers, a gorgeous passing and cutting system immediately appeared!

The next Pacers team played a gorgeous offense that shocked the entire league, each of them was running, the opportunity could always come in unexpected places, and Webber and Lin Tian always used unbelievable ways to pass the ball to those fleeting opportunity points.

The Knicks' vaunted defensive system is useless when these two men work together and others run wildly.

Falling apart, falling apart!

In the first quarter of the game, the Knicks, who didn't find their sense at all and didn't even know what was going on, lost by 13 points!

Then at the end of the first half, they lost by 25 points!

The second half of the game?

In the second half of the game, they narrowed the gap a little, but that was because Lin Tian, Webb and others all left the game early!

In this game, Lin Tian played 24 minutes and scored 14 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, Webb played 22 minutes and scored 12 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and Christie played 17 minutes and scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

The best player in the game was Vince Carter!

Carter played a team-high 31 minutes tonight, scoring 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists! Coupled with 4 blood-pumping wild dunks, the fans of the entire Conseco Center cheered wildly!

This Pacers team is just too much to watch!

And also in Sacramento, Adelman watched the tactics he had calculated countless times in his mind being played by the Pacers so easily, and he hated it in his heart!

I hate that Weber doesn't understand himself, he doesn't say anything to Sacramento, and he hates the king's boss, the Ma'auff brothers, who are too soft and cowardly, unwilling to believe in themselves, and don't dare to force Stud Weber!

It's all self-inflicted!

This team deserves not to see the day of its rise!

Deserve!

In addition to Adelman, because the Pacers are the top favorites to win the championship in the new season, many people watched this game, of course, they didn't really sit in front of the TV to watch the whole game, they didn't have that much spare time.

More often than not, after the game, let their editing team and analysts cut out a collection of Pacers game highlights for themselves to analyze and study.

And then......

In just over 20 minutes, the Pacers played a game with all the main players, which made many senior head coaches in the league a little confused!

The Pacers' offensive system is really a bit incomprehensible!

Two top ball handlers and guys with incredible all-round vision handle the ball, and the remaining three cover each other and run for opportunities.

What's even more terrifying is that among the Pacers' starters, only Big Ben doesn't have any offensive ability, but Christie and Miller not only shoot accurately and can run, but also have good vision and passing ability.

Such a tactical system of mobile offense and all the people are soldiers.

It's hard......

This season's Pacers team is much stronger than the previous two seasons!

You have to start setting up in advance, and start working on strategies to deal with them in advance!

Most of the coaches, for the Pacers' preliminary research, is almost here, next, they have to prepare their own games, they at most let the analysts edit more Pacers games, save up and then watch and study, now after all, only half of the game, the sample is still too small.

Except for one person.

In Los Angeles, although it was late at night, Jackson did not go to hug Jenny, who was already asleep, to rest, but was naked, and once again studied the video of the Pacers' game.

After watching it again and for an unknown number of times, Jackson finally turned off the TV, then leaned back on the edge of the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"This guy Lin has actually improved again compared to last season...... What kind of monster the hell is this guy? Now that he's won the MVP, scoring title and assist champion, can he still improve? Incredible, incredible. ”

Then Jackson suddenly remembered that two years ago, that is, the summer when Lin Tian was about to leave the Bulls, Klaus had found himself for the first time and discussed the offseason strategy with him.

Klaus came up with a crazy idea that Jackson couldn't even think of.

Straighten Lin Tian, trade Pippen, and let Jordan go!

This crazy idea, at the time of the madness that Jackson regarded as an idiot.

But now that I think about it, it's not good, that nasty dead fat guy is right!

While half the league was shocked by the Pacers' performance in a preseason game and began to scrutinize them, the Pacers didn't stop their progress.

The league has prepared a total of 7 preseason games for the Pacers this year, all of which are games against the teams around the Pacers. The most important thing here has always been not to win or lose, but to reduce travel expenses.

All games are played in the nearest place.

So in these six games, except for the Knicks in the first game, the rest of the Pacers games are also against opponents in the same district: Bulls, Bucks, Pistons and Cavaliers.

Except for the Bulls, who were beaten by the Pacers once and lost two games in a row at home and away, the rest of the teams were also powerless in the face of the Pacers and lost the game cleanly.

Of these four teams, although the Bulls have just won the No. 1 pick Brand, the team is obviously still in the process of rebuilding, and they will have to rot for at least 2-3 years before they can recover, and the Cavaliers have just dismantled the team this summer.

As for the Bucks and Pistons, they are certainly not bad teams, and they both entered the playoffs last season, and the Pistons' Hill and the Bucks' 3 musketeers are all famous offensive combinations in the league today.

However, against the Pacers, the Bucks and Pistons did not show anything special, they did not seem to be much better than the Cavaliers and Bulls, both had to lose by 10 points in the first quarter, and another 7-8 points in the second quarter, and in the second half, the difference would quickly be stretched to more than 20 points.

Then the main team of the Pacers clocked out at almost the end of the clock.

Regardless of whether the Pacers won by 30 or 10 points at the end of the game, the reaction and rhythm of these four teams against the Pacers were extremely consistent!

The main thing is a relaxed freehand!

Webb and this team are such a good match! The two sides are really a match made in heaven, put together, it is thunder and thunder, like a fish in water, and cooperate seamlessly!

Although the preseason has never been a stage to test the true strength of a team, for example, the Spurs have only 2 wins and 4 losses in 6 preseason games, and the Lakers have even won only 1 game.

But the Pacers are clearly not a 'preseason team', they just can't wait, showing their fierce fangs ahead of time!

Last season's defeat was too painful for the Pacers! None of them saw this happen again.

This season, the Pacers have only one goal: to take back everything that belongs to them!

The unity of the Pacers is not only as simple as scaring the head coaches and general managers of many teams in the league, but their horror can also be seen from the rankings, previews, and odds before the season!

In the MVP prediction list for the new season given by the largest and most professional media in the United States, such as ESPN, NBC, ABC, TNT, bleachers, CBS, etc., no matter who the 2nd-5th place is, all the media chose Lin Tian on their first pick!

In Las Vegas, a very low odds are also given for Lin Tian to win MVP! Obviously, the actuaries here are also very optimistic that Lin Tian can defend the MVP!

Lin Tian's odds for getting the MVP are only 100:125!

If you can get the MVP by buying 100 Lin Tian at the beginning of the season, then by the end of the season, you can only get 125 yuan!

Let's put it this way, even if Real Madrid goes to China to play in the football league for a season, the odds of them winning the championship will be a little higher than this.

And what about Shaq O'Neill, who is in second place? 100：750！

Buy 100 O'Neal at the beginning of the season to win the MVP, and then by the end of the season when he can actually get it, you can get $750!

What can be said about the gap between these two people?

It's almost the meaning of directly giving Lin Tian an award.

In addition, the same media are also the same in their first team power rankings and final championship predictions for the new season, and at the same time chose the Pacers with the first pick!

Of course, the actuaries in Las Vegas once again say: You're right!

They also put the Pacers at the top of the odds charts, while also giving a very good looking odds: 100:400!

It looks very good, but you know, this is the odds to win the championship! At this time in the past, the odds given by Las Vegas as the top favorite to win the championship were basically much higher than this number!

The only one who can compare with this year's Pacers in terms of odds at the beginning of the season is the Chicago Bulls in the 95-96 season!

No other team can compare to this year's Pacers!

In other words: the Pacers are definitely the number one and top super favorites this year!

Even before the season starts, many people have already assigned them a task: not winning the championship is a failure!

As for the reason, in addition to Webber's addition, it is also because the way this team went out last year was too impressive! All are convinced that they will definitely come back!

The other thing is the performance of this team in the preseason, which is really amazing and beautiful!

Who can say no to a team that is so flashy, insane, and giving fans the ultimate audio-visual delight every moment?

"With 127 points in 6 games, how terrifying are Indians this year?" 》

"Last year's lack of personnel pushed the Heat to a dead end, and this year's all-army attack on the Pacers is only the championship! 》

"Before the season starts, the Pacers have become the number one favorite to win the championship! How secure is the Pacers championship? 》

"The Heat Must Die? Walkers won't agree! The only thing standing in their way is injuries! 》

"The Heat may not be able to get Malone, they may have no resistance in the face of the full Pacers!" 》

Can the Lakers Three Musketeers plus the 'Zen Master' snipe the Pacers? Will the Spurs Twin Towers make it to the Finals? 》

"The Heat, Spurs, Lakers, and Pacers four-strong battle has taken shape, who can finally stabilize the championship? 》

"In the chaos of the army, the pioneers may be able to find a way to survive, all the soldiers are soldiers, can they reach the finals? 》

"Goal 70 wins? Can the Pacers break the Bulls' record for wins in a single season this year? 》

"The lineup is complete! Just looking at the lineup on paper, the Pacers are already the number one in the league today! 》

"From the starter to the bench, there are soldiers who can fight! The Pacers have at least 3 benches who can be starters or even the core of other teams! 》

"There may be a 10-player rotation in the new season!" The Pacers have an abundance of personnel that no one in the league can match! 》

"The new system is eye-catching! Who can withstand the Pacers' onslaught? 》

"Under the dual-core drive, the Pacers' offense is defenseless! 》

"Hands don't stop, the ball doesn't stop! Thousands of horses galloping in the land of mercury! The Pacers' offense is art! 》

"Bird's coaching ability is absolutely the best in history, and no one but him has been able to create such an amazing tactical system in an offseason! 》

"The early part of the regular season is on a good schedule, and the Pacers may start a 14-game winning streak? 》

In the two days before the start of the regular season, and the last break before the start of the season, the media from all walks of life were crazy to praise the Pacers, from the system to the personnel to the season preview and record estimates, the Pacers were favored by everyone and praised by everyone crazy.

Before the season even started, the Pacers were praised as if they could easily break the Bulls' 74-win record and win the championship in the playoffs this season, which was really blown up by the media, fans and peers.

Looking at the crazy touted news, Bird was not happy at all, on the contrary, his brows were very tight.

This kind of touting, if you are not careful, will make the player's psychology change, want to win and fear of losing, be held high, burst of self-confidence, and then be too arrogant, do not put opponents and even teammates in the eyes, think that they are really invincible, and then ......

It is likely that how high you are praised is, how much it hurts to fall!

Bird, who has been dealing with the media for almost 30 years, knows these media too well, no matter how hard they blow the Pacers today, when the Pacers really encounter difficulties and start to lose, lose, or get injured, they jump out and spray the Pacers no, self-righteous and arrogant, or these reporters!

In short, it doesn't matter if the team wins or loses, the journalists never lose.

On the afternoon before the start of the new season, Bird walked into the Conseco Arena with this anxiety and uneasiness, hoping to sound the alarm bell for the players before the start of the season, telling them to guard against arrogance and rashness, and not to take the praise of the media and fans to heart.

He has to tell the players that the game should be played one game at a time, the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, don't panic because of the loss, and don't be disturbed by the voices of the outside world, criticism and praise go hand in hand.

Well, just say it to them!

After reaching the locker room door, Bird thought about what to say, and then pushed the door open the locker room.

"Let's guard against arrogance and rashness, and don't take the praise of the media and fans to heart! The game is going to be played one game at a time! Only if you win in the end, the praise now is worth it! If we lose, now praising our voices will turn into crazy criticism and ridicule! ”

"And what we have to do is to use our strength and the final championship to tell them: every word, every word and even every punctuation mark they praise us now is right!"

When Bird pushed the gate, he saw Lin Tian standing in the middle of the locker room, giving a lecture to all the players, he had already started to give eye medicine to the players long before Bird started!

"We can't win all of the regular season! There will be surprises in the long 82 games, we will lose, we will lose in a row, we will be beaten by surprises! But what I have to say is that we're going to be the winners, we're going to be the first in the regular season, we're going to win the championship! And, we're going to win multiple championships in a row! Do you understand, guys? ”

"Understood!"

Under Webber's leadership, the entire Pacers team raised their hands and cheered at the same time, they were full of fighting spirit, they were full of desire and confidence to win the game.

But Bird could also see in the eyes of each of them: there was no arrogance, no self-righteousness, and no feeling that they had won everything!

Confident but not arrogant, proud but not arrogant!

Bird walked into the locker room and stood next to Lin Tian, in his heart, he had never been so confident!

Even if he hadn't played a single game in the regular season, Bird was already very sure of one thing!

This season's championship must belong to the Pacers!

Seeing that his players were all staring at him, Bird didn't talk nonsense, but simply raised his arms and said, "Let's go, let's go and smash the Phillies up!" that 'Son of Philadelphia' into a 'Philadelphia Cripple'! ”
